Yes, you should never put your rock on top of your sand. Alot of saltwater fish like to rearrange the sandbed, which can tunnel the sand out from...
The egg crate helps distribute the weight of the rockwork across the bottom glass. This way you dont have a rock putting alot of weight in one spot,...
Looks like alot of good info. One thing I wanna mention about curing the DIY rock in your tank. I made alot of DIY rock, and cured it all in a...
Ok, that would make sense. I didnt think about a skimmer.
Thats an interesting concept of sump design. I like the idea. Should work just fine I would think. Why is it that everyone talks about bubble...
This appears to be a freshwater tank so I doubt they want live rock. Shouldn't this be posted in the freshwater forum?
I built my sump almost identical to this. Also am going to run a small pump for the fuge for the same reason, I'm running a bean animal. I think this...
I would redo your intake and return. I'm guessing you have the intake tube vertical and it extends down the back wall? Turn it sideways and put it as...
My girlfriend just bought an xp3 (against my wishes to drill the tank and do a sump, another story) and upon my inspection, the stock hoses look like...

Lol thanks, and yeah this is my first reef. I just like to research when I'm going to do something and do it right. 6 months ago I knew nothing about...
LOL, my bad! Idk why I was associating your screen name with a girl?
Well I have it figured out. But I forgot to order the loc line stuff with my group buy order! :hammer:
Thanks! I need to get some better pics of it Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
I have mixed opinions about this. Since she is new I recommend against a skimmer. Its an expensive piece to buy for the tank, its going to be hard...
Yeah I didn't think about that. I'm used to illinois winters and I'm a tight wad when it comes to the thermostat in my house lol. Sent from my Droid...
God I hope I can get my diy rock to start taking coraline quick, it looks so good! Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
